Chapter 21 Configuring Switch Access Using AAA
Configuring Accounting
Updating the Server
You can configure the switch to send accounting information to the server. There are two
options:
•
Newinfo—Sends accounting information to the server only when new accounting information
becomes available.
•
Periodic—Sends accounting update records at regular intervals. This option could be used to keep
up-to-date connection and session information even if the NAS restarts and loses the initial start
time. You must set a time lapse between periodic updates. Valid intervals are from 1 to
71,582 minutes.
Suppressing Accounting
You can configure the system to suppress accounting when an unknown user with no username accesses
the switch by using the
set accounting suppress null-username enable
command.
Note
RADIUS and accounting are the same, except that RADIUS does not do command
accounting, periodic updates, or allow null-username suppression.
Configuring Accounting
These sections describe how to configure accounting for both and RADIUS:
